This is my review for all of these books. They are set during WWII and have some gory (sp) true stories, but they're melded into the same characters. I love these books, but I haven't read them for years. They sit on my shelf tempting me. And, now that I've looked them up to rate them and tell other people to read them, I see that there are more. I am very excited!!!! I'll have to go and look for them. :)

With this entire series, my heart goes out to the charachters. My heart is pounding with fear for them as I read through their frightful expierences. This book especially makes me think. Would I be able to hold true to the 'True' Word of God under torture or the torture & death of my friends and family?

Well written. I've read the 4 books prior to this one also. Found myself emotionally drained because of the tension in the story. Will need to psyche myself up to read number 6, but believe it will be just as well done.

Another great novel by Thoene that centers around WWII. With each book she writes, she expands on the lives of characters, some minor, from her previous books. My only criticism of this one is that she switches storylines too quickly and too often at times.

I can't resist this series from my childhood. Warning: DON'T read the 4th book in the series if you are faint of heart. There's an instance of such brutality it still haunts me.

This was book 5 of 9 in the series. There are now approximately 60 characters, each with their own detailed story line and I'm dying to know what happens to all of them! Tonight when I listened to hear about Hitler's latest blunder on the nightly news I realized I've been reading a lot of WWII books lately. My brain is stuck in 1939.

Read this series about twelve years ago when living in Vernal. It's a good story of danger and intrigue in Nazi Germany.

Continuing the story of people in World War II. It is well written--easy to feel the tension and struggling of people living through these events. In this book, the "preaching" was a little too obvious. The plot was good and built to a good climax.

I am giving this one four stars simply because it took me so long to short out all the new characters. It was distracting to find myself, 200 pages into the story, still asking how the characters fit in. I understood the need for their introduction, and by the end I was invested in each of their stories. In fact, I read until 3:00 a.m. just to make sure the children were safe. Probably not the best book to have finished, my son's first night, at his very first week long Scout Camp. I wanted t More...

I loved this installment of the series. It dealt a lot with children escaping the Nazi regime, and how families were torn apart by Hitler.

I truly love how much these books have opened my eyes to so many things that took place leading up to World War II. There were so many people that closed their hearts and minds to the things going on, but thank goodness there were the few who helped, even if it signed their own death warrant. Another great read!

The writers again introduce new characters while retaining the old. There is a very thrilling part where some Jewish children have to flee Berlin while being chased by the Gestapo...I really could hardly put the book down. The writers do a good job of providing a mostly happy ending, but don't sugarcoat the terrible things that were happening to people throughout Europe...truly chilling
